Longest shot with a handgun

[cce1302]

80yds milk jugs with a GP100 (6 7/8" barrel) .357 mag. Never tried out beyond that. I guess I ought to. Would like to see what it can do at 150.

with the .22lr conversion on my sig P226r I have shot a 5inch five shot group at 50 yards, wiht bulk pack ammo

Used to practice hitting 2 liter bottles at 100yds with a 5" 629 Classic. It paid off that year- 1 doe 56 meters- 1 300gr JSP/ 1- 8 pt. running at apprx 50 meters same bullets/ same results

Hit a apple at 75yds. with my Delta Elite. Used to set up a deck of cards and play poker at 25 yds we usually set a 5 second time limit per card and a 7 round ammo limit per hand so a few times ace high would win.

200 yard shot

i can hit a Nat that is stuck to a fly's ass at 200 yard with a 22 short

 

[Flintlock]

I hit smack in the middle of a 1 inch bulls eye from 50 yards with a S&W 38 Special Snubnose with a 3/4" barrel. Luck was with me that day.

deer at 100 plus yards with model 29 Smith&Wesson 8 inch barrel with open sights. Have witness.

I earned Expert and later got the silver star for Sharpshooter with the 1911A1 .45ACP while in the Navy. In service , we were instructed that the maximum effective range of a .45ACP was about 55 yards, I guess that meant killing range. But, having a fondness for .45's, lots of .45 trigger time and building my own these days, I can consistantly hit a fence post or bowling pin at 200 yards with my 1911's.

 

[Michiana]

half a mile or more

While out at sea we sometime went to the fantail and dragged a five gal milk can on a rope behind the ship and it bounced all over the place while we tried to fill it with holes. I was the BAR gunner but sometimes would shoot a 1911 45 for fun. A few times I just pointed the gun at a 45 degree angle into the air and shot so I wouldn't have to screw around with returning the unused ammo; of course I was aiming at the ocean and hit it every time. That BAR was a nasty rifle to shoot.

i dont have them one shot tales. but shooting 3 inch steel targets at 25 yards i hit around 70 percent with a sig 226.

 

[Turtle]

In the black at 50yrds with my CZ-75

 

[zerowolf]

I shot Elmer Keith at 600yds. with a Model 29 S&W.

 

[femurphy77]

Taurus 38 spcl, hip shot, nailed a fly at 75 ft. I made a comment like "that fly is beginning to annoy me" and raised the pistol to waist level, just point and fire with no aiming and squeezed off a round. When I hollered "S.O.B., I hit it", my buddy called B.S. but there was a perfect blood spatter all around the hole on the target. Obviously couldn't do that again if I tried!!!

 

[The Meach]

One shot, on Accident. Beretta PX4 in .40 - 300 yards put it right between the eyes of the guys Zombie target next to me. I sneezed right as i Shot and it went wide right. I really wish i had a video.

One time on a 50 yard range, I came within an inch or two of the bullseye with a S&W 36 loaded with 25 year old reloaded wadcutters. I know some of you could do that in your sleep but I was pretty happy about that shot.

 

[redneckmedic]

Ah I can also hit center mass over and over again with a S&W 642 from about 12'. that's my best shooting!!! (don't laugh that's not a joke!!!)

 

[Cantbephaded04]

6.37 miles with a .22, hit a camel directly in the right corniea.

 

[cce1302]

I shot the sheriff.






But I did not shoot the deputy.

 

[Crimson]

125 yards. With TC Encore in 308. Best group of 1.5". But that was on a bench. When I off hand, I would say it is more like 4-5". But I use it for deer hunting and that is good enough for me.

 

[MillerIU]

I had a colt trooper II 6in that I could hit bowling pins at 50yds 90% of the time. Wish I never sold the gun!
